Title: Amendments to Regulations Regarding Withdrawals of Applications and Voluntary Suspension of Benefits (3573F) 
Abstract: We propose to modify our regulations to establish a 12-month time limit for the withdrawal of an old age benefits application. We also propose to permit only one withdrawal per lifetime. These proposed changes would limit the voluntary suspension of benefits only to those benefits disbursed in future months.
